Labour Party wants general elections and an alternate plan for Brexit

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said on Thursday that only a general election in the United Kingdom can “break the deadlock and find a solution that works for the whole country.”

He said Labour, Britain’s main opposition party, has set out an “alternate plan” for Brexit.

Labour Part’y’s plan contains a continued access to the EU customs union and the single market. He also wants to “keep pace” with the bloc’s regulations on environmental protection and consumer protection standards.

Meanwhile the Brexit-haters on the continent are hoping there won’t be a Brexit at all. Conservative MP Jacob Rees-Mogg and Vernon Bogdanor, one of UK’s foremost experts on the constitution, made clear that won’t happen. “A statute has been passed that says we leave the European Union on 29th March this year. If no other statute is passed, we leave without a deal.”
